How to Enrol

Choosing a school for your child is a very important decision.
These are the steps that we recommend you take.

When to Enrol in Primary School

To start primary school your child will need to turn 5 years old by 30 April in the year that they start school.  Your child must be at school in the year that they turn 6 years of age. This is the compulsory school starting age.

The first year of primary school is called Foundation or Prep. Read more about when and how to enrol your child in the first year of primary school at enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

If you need to enrol at a different time or year level, contact our enrolment officer Mrs. Kim Winters in the school office on 9874 6381.

Foundation Enrolments

All Victorian government primary schools follow the statewide Foundation (Prep) enrolment timeline.

The timeline advises families when and how to enrol their child at a Victorian government primary school.

For more information about the enrolment timeline, visit: Enrolling in Foundation (Prep).

Enrolments for Foundation (Prep) are completed online by creating a VicStudents account and completing the online application form. Please ensure that all documents required are attached to the application.
